About Dan
Biography
I am a TEXAS Trial Lawyer. For the past 30 years, I have been an active and aggressive Trial lawyer representing thousands of clients in Personal Injury, Wrongful Death and Premises Liability cases. I also have extensive Trial experience in the Criminal Defense and Immigration Law Courts.
I have represented clients in Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, El Paso, Amarillo, Lubbock, McAllen, Harlingen, Del Rio, Texarkanna, and Miliam County, Texas. I have been successful in many Bench and Jury Trials. Over my 30 years, I have won my clients millions of dollars in negotiated settlements, bench and Jury Trials. You will not have to pay any attorney fees until your case is settled to your satisfaction!
I provide all of my clients the personal attention they deserve and your case is not passed on to legal assistants, case managers or secretaries as many other lawyers tend to ignore their clients. You will talk directly with ME throughout the course of your representation. I will travel and visit with you. I also provide my clients with my cell phone number.
In Personal Injury cases, my previous experience as an insurance claims adjuster back in the 70s gives me greater insight on how to negotiate with the insurance people. I am also a certified Texas Mediator in Personal Injury cases.

Posted by Jay | June 21, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes
We won the uphill battle. Couldn't have done it without Estrada.
I'll begin my review by stating the following: We won a settlement. Dan Estrada helped me achieve 99% more than their initial pittance offer (I did not make this number up, I actually whipped out a calculator to get the total percentage). With Estrada's help, the uphill battle became much more mana...

The best and honest attorney
Mr. Dan Estrada has been a great and honest lawyer. When my husband was held by ICE it was really hard to find an honest lawyer that could help us through the process. Mr. Estrada was able to release my husband from jail in a week without a fine! He terminate his deportation case and help get a legal...

Wonderful, personal, diligent service.
Mr. Estrada has been not only the best lawyer we've hired, but the best we've consulted with. He has provided an overall better experience than any of our friend's lawyers (we know a lot of people working through immigration cases). My husband was suddenly detained by ICE for illegal entry into the U...

Money well spent- adjustment successful and easy.
Dan Estrada and his team put together an excellent case and packet for my application for permanent residency. The final interview took less than 15 minutes when the immigration officer reviewed my application papers and saw that my marriage was well backed up with supporting material. He is easy to ...

Not reliable, do not hire this lawyer for any case due to slip and fall
Not reliable, do not recommend to anybody. Had a firm in Houston, good lawyers to litigate in my case; slipped and fell in Walmart , Mr. Estrada insisted in taking the case, he promised me he had experience negotiating with Walmart. To be specific, he wanted me to accept $1,500.00 to split it in th...

Replied last November 07, 2017Ms. CV: I regret that you were dissatisfied with my Law Office. You had already fired another Law firm before you came to me. In my 28 years of practice, I have never "insisted" to clients on taking their cases. From Sept. 2016 until April, 2017, I provided you with a lengthy explanation of the Texas premises liability laws and how your case would be affected by these laws. I obtained video surveillance footage from the defendant company that did not show any clear evidence of the area where you fell or the alleged water hazard that caused your fall. Over the 8 month period, I communicated with the defendant claims rep who believed that there was "no liability" but they offered you $1,500. As a general practice, I convey any and all settlement offers to my clients, we discuss the offers, and I always leave the decision to accept or reject the offer to the client. I NEVER make this decision for the client. I did not tell you to accept this offer. You claimed very serious injuries to your body and also stated that you needed a psychiatrist. I advised you that an attorney evaluates an injury case by investigating all aspects of medical diagnosis and prognosis for settlement purposes. In your case, it appeared that you believed it necessary to have additional medical care. As the defendant company made you a token offer, I informed you about filing a lawsuit and how long the litigation process would take (sometimes a period of two years after the lawsuit is filed) I would have continued working on your case had you given me the opportunity. I have had great success in liability cases against this defendant company in the past. I honored your request for a release letter so that you could find another lawyer on April 20, 2017 as you informed me that you had talked with a Houston lawyer. In this review you state that you had good lawyers 'to litigate" your case. I contacted the defendant claims rep on Nov. 3 who informed me that no Houston lawyer had contacted them and your claim was "denied" Again, I regret that you believed that you had to "give up" on my legal services. I have represented hundreds of clients and have pursued many of these cases successfully through years of Court Trials. I wish you the best of luck in your future pursuits. Dan Estrada
